2019 Kia Soul Overview

The 2019 Kia Soul model year is well under way, and most of this year’s new and redesigned vehicles have made their way to dealer lots near you. The 2019 Kia Soul gets a new exterior color, Satin Steel Gray Metallic. Additionally, hatchback models are now available with the diesel engine.

In a 2018 Big Test that also included the Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, and the previous-generation Volkswagen, the Chevrolet placed second thanks to its comfortable ride, buttoned down chassis, and tightly controlled body motions. However, its low-speed ride was busy compared to its rivals.

2019 Kia Soul Handling is still reasonably secure but it won’t provide you with the same level of confidence as more sporting compact hatchbacks. Although the nine-speed automatic is no longer stingy with downshifts, it gets confused in traffic and is often changing gears.

2019 Kia Soul Interior quality is mixed, with a number of large panel gaps and hard plastics surround soft-touch areas where your arms fall.
